Abstract – Plants are a great source of biologically active substances such as secondary metabolites. Can be used for therapeutic, commercial and pharmacutical products.this study was conducted to evaluate the leaves of Euphorbia hirta L. and Acalypha indica L. for their anticancer properties on the basis of secondary metabolites as an antioxidant. Estimation of secondary metabolites including parametes such as estimation of Total phenol, Ortho-dihydric phenols, Bound Phenols, Tannins, Quinones and Total Flavonoid was carried out by using spectrophotometer. For this study leaves of Euphorbia hirta L. and Acalypha indica L. were selected. The amount of total phenol, ortho-dihydric phenols, Bound phenols, Tannins, Quinones and Total Flavonoid of the leaves of Euphorbia hirta L. were 20µg/g; 15µg/g; 140µg/g, 45µg/g, 2,780µg/g, and 580µg/g. The amount of total phenol, ortho-dihydric phenols, Bound phenols, Tannins, Quinones and Total Flavonoid of the leaves of Acalypha indica L. were 140µg/g; 15µg/g; 300µg/g; 50µg/g; 14,400µg/g; 740µg/g. The presence of phenols, flavonoids, tannins and quinone in both plants exhibit the antioxidant, anticancer, anti-viral activity, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic properties.
